I cannot think of someone else who deserves this award more and I am just very thankful that the State has recognized you as well as the Legislature here today.

Legislator Standinger read and presented the following Proclamation on American Stroke Month to Lisa McCafferty, Public Health Director. County of Tioga EXECUTIVE PROCLAMATION WHEREAS: Stroke is a leading cause of serious long-term disability and the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, killing over 134,000 people nationwide and more than 30 citizens of Tioga County each year; and WHEREAS: Stroke prevalence is projected to increase by 24.9% between 2010 and 2030 and the direct medical costs in the U.S. for treating stroke are expected to increase by 238% from $28.3 billion in 2010 to $95.6 billion by 2030; and WHEREAS: Warning signs of stroke include sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body; sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding; sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes; sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination; and sudden severe headache with no known cause; and WHEREAS: Americans are more aware of the risk factors and warning signs for stroke than in the past, but according to a recent survey, one-third of adults cannot identify any symptoms; and WHEREAS: Studies show that the quick actions by EMS professionals are instrumental in saving lives from stroke and producing better outcomes for stroke survivors, but more than a third of stroke patients fail to use EMS; and WHEREAS: New and effective treatments have been developed to treat and minimize the severity and damaging effect of strokes, but much more research is needed, therefore be it RESOLVED: That the TIOGA COUNTY LEGISLATURE does hereby Proclaim and designate the month of May 2016 as: AMERICAN STROKE MONTH IN TIOGA COUNTY and urges all the citizens of our County to familiarize themselves with the risk factors associated with stroke, recognize the warning signs and symptoms, and on the first signs of a stroke dial immediately so that we might begin to reduce the devastating effects of stroke on our population. Legislator Standinger spoke. When I had a stroke I had no idea that I was having one. Fortunately I was able to call a friend, a fellow law enforcement officer who came and recognized I had a problem. If I had not been able to do that, again I probably would not be here today. Familiarize yourself with

4 94 PROCEEDINGS OF THE TIOGA COUNTY LEGISLATURE those symptoms and if you see someone that has them, please get them some help. Thank you. Lisa McCafferty, Public Health Director, spoke. Not much more I can add to first hand testimony. Stroke is preventable and if you are aware of the signs, it is amazing what you can do to help yourself recover from as positively as Legislator Standinger has done, so kudos to him. Thank you everyone. Chair Sauerbrey noted the following two Proclamations on Infant Immunization Awareness Week and Child Abuse Prevention month. County of Tioga EXECUTIVE PROCLAMATION WHEREAS: Giving babies the recommended immunizations by age two is the best way to protect them from 14 serious childhood diseases; and WHEREAS: Vaccine-preventable diseases still circulate in the United States and around the world, so continued vaccination is necessary to protect everyone from potential outbreaks. Even when diseases are rare in the U.S., they can be brought into the country, putting unvaccinated children at risk; and WHEREAS: Most parents vaccinate their children, resulting in high vaccine coverage rates in the U.S.; and WHEREAS: When people are unvaccinated, outbreaks of diseases like pertussis (whooping cough) and measles can and do return; and WHEREAS: It is important to vaccinate children on time, according to the childhood immunization schedule, to provide the best protection early in life, when babies are vulnerable and before they are likely to be exposed to diseases; and WHEREAS: This year, National Infant Immunization Week will be celebrated as part of World Immunization Week, an initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO) where all six WHO regions, including more than 180 Member States, territories, and areas will simultaneously promote immunization, advance equity in the use of vaccines and universal access to vaccination services, and enable cooperation on cross-border immunization activities in April 2016; and WHEREAS: The week of April 16-April 23, 2016, has been declared National Infant Immunization Week to help ensure that children should be protected against 14 vaccine-preventable diseases by the age of two; therefore THE TIOGA COUNTY LEGISLATURE, County of Tioga, does hereby proclaim the week of April 16-April 23, 2016 as: INFANT IMMUNIZATION AWARENESS WEEK IN TIOGA COUNTY

5 PROCEEDINGS OF THE TIOGA COUNTY LEGISLATURE and encourages parents to make vaccinating their children a priority and to talk to family and friends about protecting their children with vaccines. We also encourage businesses, government agencies, community-based organizations, and service groups to spread the immunization message throughout their communities. CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH PROCLAMATION WHEREAS: The Tioga County Department of Social Services received 977 reports of alleged abuse/neglect involving 2,035 children in 2015; and WHEREAS: Child abuse is a community problem and finding solutions depends on the involvement among people throughout the community; and WHEREAS: The effects of child abuse are felt by whole communities, and need to be addressed by the entire community; and WHEREAS: Effective child abuse prevention programs succeed because of partnerships created among social service agencies, schools, religious and civic organizations, law enforcement agencies, and the business community; and WHEREAS: Programs like Cornell Cooperative Extension, Lourdes PACT and Finger Lakes Parenting Network offer support and educational services to families so families can help their child achieve his/her full potential within the community; and WHEREAS: All citizens should become more aware of the negative effects of child abuse and prevention activities within the community, and become involved in supporting parents and families so that children can live in safe, nurturing homes; now therefore THE TIOGA COUNTY LEGISLATURE, does hereby proclaim April 2016 as CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH in Tioga County and call upon all citizens, community agencies, religious organizations, medical facilities, and businesses to increase their participation in our efforts to insure that all children are raised in safe, nurturing families, thereby strengthening the communities in which we live.
